CHEM 3550: Introduction to Biochemistry

Discover the process of naming acids based on their anions and oxidation states. This video breaks down the correct naming of HNO2(aq) by distinguishing its anion and determining its place in the world of mineral acids.

This discussion explores the nature of hydrogen peroxide as a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms and categorizes it as either a homoatomic or heteroatomic molecule.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.

Learn the method to determine the count of SO? molecules, sulfur, and oxygen atoms from a given amount of sulfur dioxide (SO?). Understand the application of Avogadro's number in translating moles to molecules. Grasp key concepts of atomic structure and counting with hands-on examples.

Learn how to determine the weight of white gas carried by a backpacker using its density. A valuable skill for hikers and campers.

Discover the process of determining the final temperature of an iron nail after heat absorption. Using the specific heat capacity of iron and the heat transfer formula, we calculate the temperature increase and reveal the nail's new thermal state. This tutorial offers a clear understanding of how materials respond to heat.
